Disclaimer: I don't own Percy Jackson and The Olympians

It wasn't supposed to end up like this. Hell, Percy had no idea what the hell he was even thinking at the time that this happened. He just wanted Drew to get the hint to leave him alone already. This was the fourth? fifth? he lost track; time since the school found out about the breakup between Annabeth and himself, that Drew came up to ask Percy out. She would come find him every morning, the whole day during school, and ask him out. If Percy refused, she would find him at his locker and ask again. She would keep on asking Percy to go out with her and he would refuse up until the end of the day when she would ask one last time before leaving school to go home.

This morning was no exception. As Percy made his way to his locker, like clockwork, there she was, Drew Tanaka, an Asian girl with straight, brunette hair and light brown eyes. She was the most popular girl at school, the HBC as she was so kindly called by her peers and so she of course wanted to date the most popular boys at school. One of them being Percy.

Percy sighed inwardly as he saw her approach him, ready to refuse her advances on him once again. This was seriously wearying Percy out. He needed to find a quick solution to this mess, something to stall her so that he could have some piece of mind.

"Good morning, Percy," Drew greeted him with a big, wide smile. Pearly white teeth, so white they almost blinded Percy.

"Morning Drew," Percy said in a dull tone.

"Percy, go out with me," Drew stated going straight to the point. Not even trying for pleasantries that morning.

"You already know the answer Drew."

"So it's a yes? Perfect-"

"No Drew, it's a no," Percy cut her off.

Drew huffed and stomped her right foot. She looked at Percy and glared at him. "You and Annabeth are through. She broke up with you and now you are single. Three months is a long enough time to get over her so do it!" Drew exclaimed, feeling rejected one too many times.

Percy stood shocked, but then that shock turned to anger as he clenched his jaw slightly.

"Drew," Percy spoke in a deadly serious tone, "stop asking me out. I will never go out with you. Do you understand? Leave me the hell alone."

Drew looked at him in fear, never having seen Percy so angry before. She nodded her head quickly as she walked away. She figured she had better chances of Percy going out with her if she didn't piss him off.

Percy sighed heavily before grabbing his history textbook and leaving to his first period class. He was on his way to class when another girl stopped him.

"Oh, Percy!" He heard a voice try to get his attention.

Percy turned to look at the girl and saw her walking up to him.

"Yeah?"

"Can I talk to you please?" The girl asked him. She had red burgundy hair and brown eyes.

"Sure," Percy sighed, already tired. 'I really hope to god she's not going to ask me out...' Percy thought briefly before turning his attention to her.

"Go out with me please?"

Percy blinked for a second before speaking, "what's your name?"

"Elizabeth."

"Well, Elizabeth, I'm sorry but I'm not looking for a relationship now."

"Percy, come on! I know you and Annabeth are through, so what do you say? Go out with me? Please?" She begged and gave her best puppy dog eyes.

"Uh- I can't um..." Percy fumbled with his words, not wanting to get angry at her as well he tried calming down in the process. He felt a little bad for speaking that way to Drew, even if she had been annoying. "I can't go out with you Elizabeth. I can't go out with anybody now."

"And why's that?" She narrowed her eyes at Percy and leaned in close to him.

"I'm already going out with someone else." Percy's mouth moved faster than his brain could process what he was saying. What in the world was he thinking? He wasn't going out with anyone. The only thing he did nowadays was mope about at home.

"Oh yeah?" She giggled, her voice sounded doubtful of Percy's statement. "Who?"

"Uh-" Percy looked around as his brain scrambled about, trying to come up with a name. Any name to get him out of this mess he had put himself in. 'Just who the hell am I going to say...'

"Well..." she got closer to him.

"Um, it's... Nico di Angelo?" Percy said the statement as if it were a question, wanting to end this awkward conversation already. Okay. Rewind. Did Percy actually just say Nico di Angelo? Why in the world would he blurt his name? There were other people he could've thought of so why his name? It's not that Nico and Percy had a complicated relationship... well they kinda did but it was mostly awkward between them. And why a guy when he could've said any other girl's name? And how could Percy just blurt out Nico's name like that? Nico was so going to kill Percy, but Percy was getting tired of so many girls jumping on him ever since the split from Annabeth.

"What?!"

Yeah. Percy Jackson was an idiot.

Nico di Angelo, junior in a high school named Olympia High, 17 years of age, who played the electric guitar in a band he was in with his friend MJ, and was an art student. He had black hair, dark as midnight, dark brown eyes that almost looked black in certain lighting and pale skin, like porcelain with a tinge of olive.

Nico quickly made his way inside the school building, always coming in at least five minutes before the bell would ring. He sported a black shirt with a skull on the front, gray skinnys and a black sweater, with black vans. He made his way to his locker, passing by students who waited till the last minute to actually go to class. That was when he noticed the stares he received and the whispers going around him. Nico looked around and saw students pointing at him. Looking and whispering.

"Look there he goes..."

"He's-"

"Yeah, that's him..."

'What is going on?' Nico thought to himself as he made his way to his locker, where his friend MJ Eliza Miller came up to him.

MJ was a girl 16 years of age, black-brown hair that was medium length, peach skin, and emerald green eyes. A junior just like Nico and the lead singer of their band, Blue Indigo.

"Yo," MJ said as soon as she got close to him, a smirk on her face, the kind that said 'I know something you don't'.

"Hey," Nico drawled out as he opened up his locker and got a sketch pad out. She smiled at him, in a wicked way that almost made Nico shiver.

"So... anything interesting you wanna tell me?" She asked, looking innocent. Well, as innocent as she could with that creepy smile she still had on.

"Not really..." Nico said slowly, eyeing her suspiciously, "is there anything you wanna tell me?"

She studied Nico intently, looking to see if he was lying, but he had no reason to lie. "Are you- going out with Percy Jackson... by any chance?"

Nico's eyes widened in surprise, "w-what?"

"Well... that's what's going on around. Supposedly you and Percy Jackson are going out."

"What the hell?" Nico asked in shock. "What's going on?"

"Looks like you're close to finding out," MJ nodded her head towards Percy Jackson. The captain of the swim team for Olympia High and pitcher for the baseball team, the most popular guy in school, and the ex of Annabeth Chase; the school's most intelligent student. Not to mention, Nico's old crush. He had black windswept hair, sun kissed skin, he was six foot three with mesmerizing yet playful sea-green eyes. He came up to Nico, who took one look at his face. One word came to mind: Guilt. It was written all over.

"Gotta go, here's a fake pass," MJ handed Nico a fake pass already signed by the Home Ec. teacher. He was a cool teacher and the students; even some other teachers all called him Fluffy. MJ was pretty cool with Mr. Fluffy and so he would write her fake passes at times. "Tell me about this later. Peace." And with that, she was gone.

Nico looked straight ahead as Percy stood in font of him.

"Hey Nico..." Percy greeted him nervously.

"Percy," Nico said in a serious tone.

"Okay... I can see that you're mad-"

"You don't say?" Nico cut Percy off with a sarcastic remark.

"Let me explain-"

"Please do," Nico's nostrils flared slightly.

"Okay so-"

"Jackson!"

Percy was cut off as he was unceremoniously shoved up against a locker. Nico stood shocked, and Percy looked deep into the angry blue eyes of Jason Grace. Captain of the football team, a blond with azure eyes, tan skin, and one heck of a smile that swooned girls whenever he flashed them that smile. He was just an inch taller than Percy, but that gave him some advantage as slammed Percy against a locker.

"What the fu-" Jason began, only to be interrupted by Nico.

"Jason put him down, I'm guessing you heard but Percy was going to explain... and I don't need you fighting my battles for me."

Jason glared at Percy once more before he let him go.

RRRRIIIINNNNGGGG

The school bell rang out loud, signaling the beginning of homeroom. Percy looked to Nico and smiled in gratitude. Once the bell stopped ringing, Nico looked around.

"Come on, let's go to the bathroom," Nico suggested and made his way to the boys bathroom just around the corner.

"Why?" Percy asked him as he and Jason followed Nico.

"Do you wanna get caught and get detention?"

"No..." Percy and Jason both answered simultaneously.

Nico rolled his eyes, "then."

The three boys went inside the bathroom where Jason and Nico immediately looked to Percy, waiting for him to explain.

"Well?" Jason asked, growing a bit impatient.

"Er... right... okay so the thing is, after my break up with Annabeth..." Percy grimaced slightly, "a lot of girls started to assume I would be available again. And so they started to ask me out after a week or so... then it got pretty forceful with Drew leading them... kinda... and now they will not leave me alone. Everyday I'm surrounded by girls, asking me to go out with them-"

"Oh the horror," Nico sarcastically quipped.

Percy shot him a look, but continued on, "and sometimes they get pretty forceful... just last Friday, after swim practice, a girl came in with only her bra and underwear and stepped into the shower I was using! The coach caught her and she got suspended... I was close to getting in trouble too... but whatever, the point is- I told one person this morning that I was going out with you-"

"Why?" Jason interrupted.

"Because Nico's name was the first thing that popped into my head! I'm an idiot-"

"Yeah you are," Nico was quick to agree.

"And I'm sorry, but I'm not taking it back," Percy said with a tone of finality.

Nico and Jason both stared at Percy in a disbelieving way, shocked that Percy wouldn't take back the rumor that had started that morning.

"And why not?" Nico asked, glaring at Percy.

"Because... Nico please, go out with me?"

"Are you crazy?!" Jason exclaimed.

"Lets fake a relationship together, please Nico?" Percy begged Nico.

"No way Percy, you know exactly how Nico feels-"

"Felt," Nico cut Jason off.

"Right, felt for you and now you're asking this of him? Did you lose your brain this morning?"

"Please Nico, this would really help me and I know I'm asking for a lot but... I need your help. I wouldn't be asking you if I didn't think this would work... I promise I won't make it awkward, just please, fake being in a relationship with me?" Percy asked, with his puppy dog look that Nico had to turn away from. Honestly, that guy could seriously make someone completely crumble with that one look.

But Nico already made up his mind. He wasn't going to fake being in a relationship with Percy, even if it did help Percy out.

"Sorry Percy, but no. I'm not going to do that."

With that Nico walked out of the boys bathroom and left Jason and Percy behind.

"No way," MJ giggled as Nico recounted the whole story for her. They both had study hall together and instead of actually studying, they went up to the school's roof, and hung out there. "That's unexpected..." she said as she took a drag of the cigarette she was smoking. Nico wasn't one for cigarettes, and MJ only did them once in a blue moon.

"Yeah, I know right," Nico said as he got out his sketch pad and flipped to an empty page. Then he started to draw the school's parking lot, nothing really came to mind and Nico didn't feel like doodling, he felt like actually drawing something. He just wasn't sure what exactly.

"So... you said no?" MJ broke him out of his reverie and he looked her way.

"Of course I said no. Why would I say yes? It'd be like setting myself up for heart break," Nico's mouth moved ahead of his brain and before he could take back what he had said, MJ looked at him, her eyes wide.

"You- you still somewhat like him... don't you?" MJ asked softly.

"No. I don't. I got over him," Nico looked away, signifying that the conversation was over.

It wasn't that he didn't want to tell MJ that his feelings for Percy; although they may have been suppressed for the time being after going out with Will Solace, hadn't fully gone away. He wasn't ready to admit that maybe they never fully went away to himself much less to other people.

In eighth grade, Nico had decided to admit his feelings to Percy, unfortunately they obviously weren't returned. Solely for the reason that Percy only thought of Nico as a friend and just that. Afterwards, they're friendship turned awkward, especially since Percy had started high school and had become immersed in the swim team and of course, his lovely girlfriend, Annabeth Chase who was too nice and kind that Nico couldn't hate her. She was a beauty, with her blonde curly hair, stormy gray eyes that were intelligent and bright, rosy-peach skin and slim figure, it wasn't hard to figure out why Percy loved her so much. And she was incredibly smart, she wasn't stuck up, she was funny in her own way, she was so easy to get along with. Nico couldn't hate Annabeth, as much as he had wanted to at first, and frankly, he didn't want to hate her.

And so because their friendship became awkward, a rift was created between them. Only just barely present by Jason, who was also a junior and had been friends with both Percy and Nico for a long time. He was the only one that seemed to be able to get Nico and Percy to hang out and even then, it was hard. Eventually, Nico entered high school, the same one as Percy and although he barely hung out with Percy and just hung out with Jason and Leo Valdez; another close friend, Nico made his own friends.

His first friend had been MJ. They met while in art class with Mr. Clark, sitting next to each other. Mr. Clark was an extremely attractive teacher, only 23 years old and was new to the school. He had dropped a folder and had whispered 'fuck me' lowly maybe because he was nervous to mess up on his first day, but Nico and MJ had still heard; and so MJ being the sly little shit that she was, whispered 'maybe later'. Nico turned to look at her, wide eyes and mouth slightly open, only for her to give him a smirk back. The teacher had heard her unfortunately, and had told her to stay after class for a bit, although to Nico, it seemed like he was trying to hold in his smile.

MJ had been different from the usual friends Nico had. Leo was funny, but sometimes it borderlined to being annoying. Frank; Hazel's boyfriend, Hazel being his half-sister, was a bit of a ruler-follower. And Jason was just your normal star quarterback, besides he had a girlfriend now; Piper McLean. MJ was sarcastic, cunning, a bit too smart for her own good, rebellious and a bit exciting. A breath of fresh air. She was a strong persona and also a bit strange but she didn't mind being strange, she enjoyed it. She loved being different. And Nico couldn't help but like to be in her company. As the years went by, he would see a different side to MJ everyday, and it surprised him in a pleasant way. They became extremely close friends.

The second person Nico had befriended in high school was a boy named Will Solace. A boy with straight, golden like the sun blond locks, cerulean eyes that seemed to rival the sky and tan skin that seemed to glow and was adored by the sun. He was muscular without being too overwhelming and tall. And he had made Nico's heart beat fast; something that only happened when Percy was around, which was close to never now. They became great friends and Will had supported Nico as he formed Blue Indigo with MJ and three other people; Mason Hastings who was the drummer, Skylar Jones who was the bass player, and her brother Peter Jones who was the second guitarist. It was supposed to be for fun at first, but then they quickly gathered more fans and got to play at bigger places, landing gigs in different cities.

Will had been there and eventually, he made the first move on Nico and kissed him before he went out to perform. After that night, Nico had played the best performance he had ever done and Will asked him out. They went out for two years, close to it being three years when starting junior year, Will broke things off. Why? Nico never got a straight answer, but he had been left heartbroken by Will. And now, when the beginning of the year started, Nico saw Will hanging around different people, and was soon going out with someone else. Jason, Hazel, and MJ had been furious and close to beating him; MJ had suggested they shank him, and the thought that MJ would actually do it had scared him. But Nico chose not to do anything about it. Now here Nico was, nearing November, boyfriendless and sad. Once again those feelings that he had felt after Percy had ditched him and his friendship came back.

It wasn't that Nico had a crush on Percy still, his feelings were dulled by that point since they hadn't fully gone away, it was the fact that Percy had ignored Nico for the better part of three years almost, and had been a shitty friend. Nico's crush on Percy was long gone, or so he hoped. Nico just didn't want anything to do with Percy. There was no way Nico would ever fake being in a relationship with Percy. Ever.

"I'm just saying," MJ spoke, once again breaking Nico from his train of thought, "this wouldn't be too bad..."

Nico blinked at her in surprise before a frown made itself prominent on his face, "what?"

She looked his way, already knowing his reaction. "Look I'm just saying-"

"Yeah, go right ahead," Nico cut her off, a little mad at her for even suggesting to go through with Percy's plan.

"Percy is looking for a way out of his situation, that bitch Will is going out with another person. Just like how Percy would use you, you can use Percy."

"And how exactly?" Nico asked, wondering where MJ was going with this.

"I'm not saying to like, mess with Percy or whatever cause that would be mean. And I'm not saying to do it behind his back either. Do a deal with Percy, say that you'll be his 'fake boyfriend' as long as he is yours. All to make Will angry and jealous so that he would come running back to you," MJ smiled slightly.

"You're saying to make a deal with Percy and fake being in a relationship?" Nico asked incredulously, "are you insane?"

"Will is currently going out with some poor sap, and flaunts him around almost all the time that you're around and you sit in your bed and mope and it's not fair. Payback time since last time you didn't let me shank him. Its just a suggestion of course... you don't gotta do it unless you wanna..." MJ flicked the cigarette bud over the side and leaned back on her hands, studying Nico acutely.

"Why would Will get jealous of me going out with Percy?"

"Second period, I have class with him and I was giving him my usual glare when suddenly, he came up to talk to me and asked if the rumor of you and Percy going out was true. Why would he ask that unless he still felt the same way for you? All I'm saying is, make a deal with Percy to get Will jealous, not to win him back, but to pay him back in kind. You never found out the reason of why he left you and you deserve to know!" MJ explained.

Nico looked at her and thought about what she had just said. It wasn't fair of Will to just leave him and dump him like yesterday's trash and Nico really did want to find out why... maybe he could make a deal with Percy. No feelings attached at all. Besides, Will was always going out with someone new all the while Nico stayed at home some nights when he didn't have any gigs to play and replayed every conversation he ever had with Will.

Would it be so bad to fake a relationship with Percy? They would both be faking it and so there was the factor of not including feelings into this fake relationship.

Should Nico even consider this? Was it even worth it?

Percy walked through campus, lunch bag in his hand; ever since the rumor that had started this morning, no girl had come up to Percy to ask him out and it was a really good day. Unfortunately, Percy would have to put a stop to this rumor now since Nico refused to fake it. That's when he saw Drew make her way to him and Percy sighed heavily, steeling himself for the onslaught of questions Drew had in store for him.

"Hello Percy," the way Drew said his name made it clear that she was mad about the whole thing.

"Hi Drew," Percy said as politely as he could.

"Where's your boyfriend? I mean, you are going out with Nico di Angelo, right?" Drew sneered.

"Uh- right... about that-"

"Percy." Percy was cut off by Nico who came to stand near his side, Percy looked at Nico, confusion evident on his face. "I've been looking all over for you."

"You have?"

"Yeah silly," Nico teased easily.

"Uh..."

"Come on, let's have lunch." Nico took Percy by the hand and led him away from Drew, who was glaring daggers at Nico.

They made their way to an empty table and Percy sat down on the table with his lunch bag and looked at Nico, asking him a silent question. Nico let out a puff of air as he brushed his bangs out of the way and sat down.

"Okay, let's make a deal," Nico said in a serious tone. Percy nodded his head, wanting Nico to continue, "So... I will fake being in a relationship with you as long as you help me."

"With what?" Percy asked curiously.

"With making Will Solace jealous."

Percy's cheeks filled with color as he remembered that Will Solace and Nico had dated. They had dated for years until one day, they weren't seen together anymore and Will had a new person hanging off of him.

"A-are you trying to win him back?" Percy hesitantly asked the question, for fear of Nico snapping at him.

Nico narrowed his eyes at Percy, "that's none of your business. Look do we have a deal or not?"

Percy held his hands up, "sorry, you're right... fine we have a deal."

"Good."

MJ came up behind them and brought Nico his lunch and a few pastries from Home Ec. Jason and Piper soon joined them as well.

"So, I take it you guys have a deal?" MJ asked, smirking in an amused way.

"Yeah," Nico answered nonchalantly as he ate another cookie.

"Wait... you guys all know?" Percy asked Jason, Piper and MJ, and they all nodded their heads.

"Percy, you're not an actor, honestly, you'd make it real obvious that you two aren't going out. You two are going to need a lot of help. Which is why we are here, to help" MJ explained, gesturing to Jason and Piper as well.

"We're gonna help you guys fake being a couple so that it's so good, the whole school will believe it," Piper said smiling wickedly.

"Although I do not agree to this, whatsoever, you two are both my friends, and if you need help, I'll be here to help you. Starting with the way you two are around one another, you've both have been so alien with each other it'd be obvious you're not going out. Percy you walk on eggshells when you're around Nico, seriously, you make it obvious that you're uncomfortable being around him. And Nico, you keep glaring at Percy and you shoot him dirty looks along with sarcastic remarks, that's gotta stop man. You're making it seem like you hate Percy. For this to work, we need the two of you cooperating, okay?" Jason said in commanding voice.

"Fine," Nico grumbled as he sipped his soda.

Percy looked at all four of the people he was sitting with and nodded dumbly, completely overwhelmed by what he had gotten himself into.

'Okay, calm down... it's not that bad... it's just me and Nico faking a relationship... we're faking it. Nothing is going to happen... right?'

And so that is a wrap! Thanks for reading! Tell me what you guys think?
